Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Ingredients:

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries (about 12-15)
  • 200g (7 oz) dark or milk chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
  • 100g (3.5 oz) white chocolate, chopped (optional, for drizzling)
  • A pinch of sea salt (optional, for contrast)
  • Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or coconut flakes (optional, for decorating)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Strawberries:

    • Rinse the strawberries gently and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure they are completely dry to prevent the chocolate from seizing up when dipped.
    • Leave the green stems on for easy handling.

  2. Melt the Dark or Milk Chocolate:

    • In a heatproof bowl, place the dark or milk chocolate. Melt it using one of the following methods:
      • Double Boiler: Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth and fully melted.
      • Microwave: Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

  3. Dip the Strawberries:

    • Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering about 2/3 of the berry. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it on a parchment-lined tray.

  4. Optional White Chocolate Drizzle:

    • If you want to add a white chocolate drizzle, melt the white chocolate using the same method as above.
    • Once the dark or milk chocolate layer has set (about 15 minutes), drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dipped strawberries using a spoon or piping bag.

  5. Decorate (Optional):

    • While the chocolate is still soft, you can sprinkle toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or coconut flakes on the dipped chocolate for added texture and flavor. If you like a salty-sweet contrast, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt.

  6. Chill:

    • Refrigerate the chocolate-covered strawberries for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.

  7. Serve:

    • Once the chocolate is hardened, the strawberries are ready to serve. Arrange them on a serving tray or enjoy them straight from the fridge!

Tips:

  • Best to Use Fresh Strawberries: The key to making perfect chocolate-covered strawberries is using fresh, firm berries. Overripe berries may not hold up well after dipping.
  • Storage: Store the strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. They are best when fresh.
  • Customizing: You can experiment with different kinds of chocolate (white, milk, dark, or even ruby chocolate) or toppings like crushed Oreos, toffee bits, or colored sugar for a fun twist.

Enjoy your indulgent, homemade chocolate-covered strawberries! 🍓🍫
